According to a report by National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), India will need around 28.4 million workers in India's booming transportation, logistics, warehousing and packaging sector. The sector, which currently employs over 16.74 million employees, is slated to employ more than 28.4 million employees by 2022. According to the report, this sector will have one of the highest incremental human resource requirement of 11.7 million from 2013-2022, across the 24 sectors that have been mapped for assessing incremental human resource requirement in the country.

Many people who are not aware of Logistics management, for them I feel this definition will work, chiefly it is the flow of things between the point of source and the point of consumption in order to meet requirements of customers or corporations and majorly everything which is required is transported like resources managed in logistics can comprise physical items, such as food, materials, animals, equipment and liquids, as well as intangible items, such as time, information, particles, and energy.

Individuals can be skilled in material handling, production, packaging, inventory, transportation, warehousing, and often security as logistics of physical items usually involves the integration of information flow.

National Skill Development Corporation stated that rising investment, rapidly evolving regulatory policies, mega infrastructure projects and several other developments in recent times have driven the Indian logistics market, simultaneously, also overcoming infrastructure-related constraints and logistics-centric inefficiency.

The report further states that key growth drivers are the logistics activities which are currently outsourced and growing rapidly at a rate of 52%. Growth is due to a thrust on marquee projects — dedicated freight corridors, DMIC, JNPT container terminal, and inland waterways. There's also rapid growth in organized retail, e-commerce, QSR, containerization, etc. Also, the increasing income levels among consumers make the product affordable and hence, provide scope for innovative packaging to attract consumers to purchase the product. And food and beverages, which contribute 85 % of total packaging user segments, is one of the biggest driving force.

"The biggest challenge for the sector is to attract talent. The sector clearly sees poor working conditions and low pay scales in comparison to other career options because of poor or non-existent manpower policies. The industry is expected to give a push to Indian economy with the emergence of e-commerce, organized retail & Quick Service Restaurants (QSR)." - Dilip Chenoy, MD and CEO, NSDC. Furthermore he said that, "With more organized approach towards transport and logistics activities due to the emergence of global third-party logistics (3PL) players, the demand for trained employees with specific skill sets is expected to further increase,"

Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Delhi and Ahmedabad are the districts with maximum employment in the transportation and logistics sector as per National Sample Survey (NSS) 68th round survey. The high growth clusters as identified by NSDC incremental human resource requirement studies are Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Bangalore, Surat and Indore.

Moreover, the amplification in the auto industry will also make way for enlargement in the logistics sector as it runs on tight inventory scheduling. The popular functions will be logistics, exports, supply chain management and inventory management.
